FF16 stealing dev time from FF14

[Amnmaat]

It's most likely new hires or shuffled from Square enix's other departments, as opposed to XIV's core development team. Could they have borrowed some of the Senior staff for quality assurance? Definitely, it wouldn't really affect FFXIV too much. As senior staff's job is mostly the managing part where they supervise code quality, art quality, 3D art quality, and cross referencing; and procedures.

The real "blue collar workers," you know, the ones actually doing the 3D art and coding wouldn't all of a sudden have 2 jobs. The company would get sued or they'd have to pay them double the salary.
One positive from all of this is that if it's new hires they might be able to keep them after they finish FFXVI and bring them into FFXIV for added operations.

PS. Nice username, I'm gonna sell one of my livers for an RTX 3080 next year.

I hate to say it, but Troll or not they arnt completely wrong here. There was so much speculation about why we were only getting 1 dungeon suddenly (honestly I still dont see the big deal) and honestly between FFVIIR & FFXVIs development, it isnt farfetched to say/think resources were being split for other projects.

But this happens with a company that works on and manages more then 1 ip. So it shouldnt be too suprising.

Seeing his work with XIV in actually excited for XVI knowing YoshiP is at the Helm. Same knowing the DMC guys are doing combat. DMC was amazing

The battle director for DMC5 and FFXVI also did Dragon's Dogma, which had some truly incredible fights, combat skills, and magic. To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

If I was any more excited I think I might Die.
For my future in gaming, I cannot allow this to happen.

We now have evidence that FF16 is the reason why we have only one dungeon per patch, no new deep dungeon, a delayed exploratory zone (Bozja), less and less glamours, still no female Hrothgar or male Viera, no Hrothgar and Viera headgear...

It's because all the resources generated by hard working FF14 players are leeched off and used to make FF16. People guessed that it would be FF7 remake but they're actually wrong. It's FF16. A director cannot simultaneously work on two games and talent in FF14 should not be poached off to work on FF16. We paid for FF14 not for FF16.

OH look a new name.
